Adding to what Thomas said.
You can use only Leather or PTFE washers, anything else will not withstand the high forces and heat.

not really worth a try, temperature can be pretty high in the spring chamber, also addon the possibility of dieseling under oil lubing, can easily damage nylon. nylon is not durable beyond 250 C, i think it might stretch and reform or even melt on usage.

PS: why jugaad nylon? the leather washers and PFTE are pretty cometitive in pricing and will justify the cost in long run, :)
